Description
OE-254/GRC
* is an omni-directional, biconical antenna designed for
broadband operation without field adjustment from 30
to 88 MHz frequency range up to approximately 500 watts.
The antenna system includes:
O A standard lightweight mast having a maximum height
of 41 feet and 9 inches.
O A canvass carrying bag with assembly and erection
procedures.
O All necessary guy assemblies, stakes, base plate,
tools, and other ancillary equipment required to make
a complete antenna system.
O All necessary coaxial cables and cable adapters.

baseplate
with the hammer.
3. Drive the two pin stakes through opposite corner holes of the baseplate.
4. Locate the position of the four guy stake assemblies at a maximum radius of 25 feet
(7.62 meters) from the center of the baseplate and a 90 degree angle between stakes.
The baseplate ribs should be in alignment with two opposite stake assemblies.
5. The guy stake positioning radius can be approximated by using the five lower mast
sections, the lower adapter assembly, and three upper mast sections fitted together
to mark the guy stake location.
6. Drive the four guy stakes at a 45 degree angle into the earth facing away from the mast.

8. Extend the guy ropes to the anchor assemblies and attach the free end
guy loop of the guy snubber to the anchor hooks. When attached this
way, each guy rope can be pulled as taut as desired by lengthening the
guy loop.
9. Attach the upper four guys, color coded red, to the red guy plate and
anchor assemblies in a similar manner.
10. Pull the four guy ropes (two upper and two lower) taut a secure them.
The method for pulling guy lines taut is as follows:
A. Remove guy from snubber lock.
B. Pull snubber along guy in direction towards mast.
C. Secure guy by looping guy under snubber.
11. Lay the two bottom (lower and upper) guy ropes along one set of taut
side guy ropes and adjust to the same length. Attach the bottom guy
ropes to the back guy stake.
12. Coat the insulating extension screw thread with anticorrosion compound (silicone).
Screw the insulating extension into the feedcone structure (handtight only) and
assemble to the mast. Do not use unusual force.
13.Coat the screw threads of the AB-24, MS-117A and MS-116A with anticorrosion
compound. Assemble the antenna elements by screwing together six sets of mast
sections, AB-24, MS-117A and MS-166A in each section.
